I am addicted to food.

Yes, I have said it. Maybe now I can reign in my addiction. I was passing McDonald's today and they had that deal 2 big mac's for $3.oo! Secret fact: I love big mac's! I thought hey, I haven't been out to eat for a while, I deserve a treat, and it is such a good deal! I couldn't pass it up. I bought 2 and a happy meal for the kids to share. We got home and I started eating my luscious big mac, turned over the container and realized they had all the nutritional facts listed. One big mac is 540 calories! I was beyond shocked! I like to eat in the dark with no knowledge of how many calories I am consuming. So, at that point I was like there is no way I, with this knowledge, can eat both big mac's. That would be way more calories than I should have for just lunch. So then the guilt started in (like it hadn't already, I should not have even gone to McDonald's there is plenty of good food at home!) I thought maybe the kids could help we eat the second one? No, they haven't even finished their 1/2 of cheeseburger! I called Blake to see if he wanted to come home for lunch and eat my extra big mac. No go, he was busy working plus he really doesn't like big mac's. I told him that maybe I'd just save it until tomorrow and have it for lunch then. He informed me that day old burgers are just plain gross (especially McDonald's). But coming from a family where you ate what you were served and all of it till your plate was clean as a whistle, I had a delema. I thought about calling a friend to see if they would want it, but how could I in good conscience give someone something that was crazy in the calorie department. I felt guilty. I have Food Guilt! I couldn't just throw away money, which in my mind is what I would be doing if I just thru the big mac away.
I won't tell you what I have done. Just know that I will not be buying anymore big mac's for quite a while!
